US Patent:

52976017, Mar 29, 1994

Filed:

Mar 4, 1993

Appl. No.:

8/027150

Inventors:

Andy E. Munsey - LaGrande OR
Ralph R. Harvey - Post Falls ID

Assignee:

Pierce-Pacific Manufacturing, Inc. - Tualatin OR

International Classification:

B27L 100
B27M 102

US Classification:

144208F

Abstract:

A log debarker for debarking a lengthwise-moving log includes a pair of debarking subassemblies each including a pair of cylindrically concave, rotating cutter elements positioned angularly asymmetrically toward one side of the log and away from an opposite side thereof and a third subassembly including a cutter element positioned to debark said opposite side of the log. Each of the pair of debarking subassemblies includes a stationary support frame, a tilting head platform and a pivoting cutter assembly supporting the cutter elements linked to the support frame so as to pivot the cutter element about an axis normal to the log axis as the cutter assembly is tilted. The cutter elements are moved toward or away from one another to adapt to different log diameters and are pivoted about an axis normal to their axes of rotation. Pivoting the cutter element skews the rotational axis of the concave cutting surface to an oval of a reduced effective radius of concavity in a plane normal to the log axis to debark a smaller diameter log. The cutter elements in the pair are pivoted in opposite directions so as to nest within one another and are counterrotated to negate turning of the log during debarking.

Abstract:

A log debarker for debarking a lengthwise-moving log includes a pair of debarking subassemblies each including a pair of cylindrically concave, rotating cutter elements juxtaposed on opposite sides of the log and formed to debark a quadrant of a log. Each debarking subassembly includes a stationary support frame, a tilting head platform and a pivoting cutter assembly supporting the cutter elements linked to the support frame so as to pivot the cutter element about an axis normal to the log axis as the cutter assembly is tilted. The cutter elements are moved toward or away fron one another to adapt to different log diameters and are pivoted about an axis normal to their axes of rotation. Pivoting the cutter element skews the rotational axis of the concave cutting surface to an oval of a reduced effective radius of concavity in a plane normal to the log axis to debark a smaller diameter log. The cutter elements are pivoted in opposite directions so as to nest within one another and are counterrotated to negate turning of the log during debarking.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02
G06Q 50/00

Abstract:

Disclosed are various embodiments for generating event recommendations. Embodiments of the disclosure identify an event associated with a location and an artist. An artist recommendation corresponding to the artist is generated for users based upon the media consumption of the users. An event recommendation corresponding to the event is generated for users near the location. A level of demand for the event is determined based upon a conversion rate.

Abstract:

A computing device can periodically acquire a current track time for a media content item being played. The device can periodically compare the current track time with a respective start time and a respective end time for each line (or segment) in a plurality of lines of text (or segments of text) associated with the media content item. If the device determines that the current track time is between start and end times for a given line of text, then the device can display the given line of text. A user of the device can scroll through the lines of text associated with the media content item. If the user selects a particular line of text, the device can identify a start time for the selected line of text. The device can then play the media content item at the identified start time of the selected line of text.
